A graduate of the Goodman School of Drama, Cate Goedert's early theater training is reflected in her current work. She's a story-teller whose paintings and photographs are moments caught in light and suspended in time. Offering a glimpse behind the curtain, they invite dialogue and an exploration of mystery and deeper meaning. Always at their center is a longing for connection.
Her work is playful and often full of humor. She moves from a place of subtext and improvisation and mines the surface for what lies beneath. She makes room for exploration and experimentation and allows improvisation to determine the flow and direction of a piece of work. This makes for both unsettling and rewarding times in the studio as she's often surprised to discover her destination.
Since moving to Santa Fe, her work has been featured several times in the Pasatiempo, the weekly arts magazine published by the Santa Fe New Mexican. A member of the Santa Fe Society of Artists since 2004, she is also a member of the Eldorado Arts and Crafts Association. From 2005 to 2008, she was an artist-partner at Artistas de Santa Fe Gallery and her work has been showcased in Santa Fe, Chicago, Seattle, and Little Rock.
